Jason's heart pounded not because he was being threatened but because he was forced away and he won't have enough time to go save summer. At that moment the officers' hands gripped his arms tightly. Jason didn't want to struggle but he decided to do so by struggling with the office, his face contorted with anger and frustration seeing the police officer didn't even listen to him and none of them even cared to listen. “You can’t do this! and waste my time, but let me warn you if anything happens to my friend. You're all going to pay for this!” he shouted, his voice echoing through the cold scene.his lips tightened even more as none of the police officers listened to him again.The car drove off slowly as they passed Jade and her family, who stood watching with smug expressions all focused on Jason.Jason at that moment locked deadly gaze with Jade. Her face was calm, it was as if nothing had happened and she didn't do anything, but her eyes betrayed her. There was fear there, a
The detective immediately leaned back staring at the direction of the door, his eyes widened as it were focused on Robert’s father, the City council with a smirk. Jason sat quietly in his chair, his face stoic, his eyes focused on the floor. He didn’t react to the detective's earlier attitude, not even when Robert’s father walked in, his face flushed with the urgency of summer safety that all he could think of now.“Release Jason immediately,” Robert’s father demanded, his voice firm. “The Mayor has sent me. He wants Jason out immediately.”At that moment the detective raised an eyebrow, his smirk widening into a full grin. He crossed his arms, leaning forward slightly. “The Mayor?” he chuckled, his disbelief was evident in his tone. “You expect me to believe the Mayor is interested in some local kid? How would he even know about this? You’re playing games with me, Robert, you and I know the Mayor can't be interested in this kid.”Robert’s father at that moment bristled, his
He stared at the black grains spilling out onto his desk, his anger momentarily replaced with confusion. His mind started racing as he tried to make sense of it, but there was no logical explanation. The room fell silent, the tension thick as the detective’s confusion slowly turned back into anger.“What kind of sick game are you and your friends playing?” the detective growled, his voice low and dangerous. He looked up at Jason, his eyes narrowed into slits. “You think this is funny? Sending me black sand?”He then turned to the officer who had delivered the letters, his eyes wide with fear but he managed to hide them.“You’re sure it was just a boy? Did he say anything else? apart from just this envelope” The detective's voice was shaky, betraying his fear.The officer nodded, his own face pale and filled with worry he doesn't understand what is happening. “Yes, sir. He didn’t say a word. Just handed over the envelope saying it was important and made sure you take a look at it,
The detective's sobs filled the small, his eyes were widened, his mouth were open and words refused to come out from it.More tears started streaming down his face, mixing with the cold sweat that dripped from his brow. His entire body shook with fear and desperation as he knelt again on the floor, begging for his life. Jason watched him quietly, his expression still unreadable. His face was calm, almost eerily so, as he observed the detective's breakdown. That was what he wanted so next time would teach her to do his job properly. After a moment, Jason leaned forward slightly, his voice low but clear.“Call Jade’s family” he said.“Tell them to come to the station. If they can make it here within the next five minutes, I will leave.”immediately the detective's eyes widened with a glimmer of hope even though he knew five minutes is not that much but there is hope. without wasting anymore time he scrambled to his feet, his hands still trembling as he reached for his phone. Hi
The room fell into a heavy silence as the Mayor's presence sent shockwaves through everyone standing in the interrogation room. The detective’s face drained of all color immediately he saw the mayor he knew something was wrong, his legs felt like they would give out any moment. He had already soaked his pants in fear, and now, with the Mayor standing before him, it was as if the ground beneath him had vanished.Jason remained calm; he didn't move a muscle, his eyes steady and unfazed by the sudden appearance of the Mayor. Everyone else, however, was visibly shaken. Jade’s family, who had been so confident moments before, now looked as if they had seen a ghost; they couldn't believe the mayor would come here in person.At that moment the Mayor’s gaze swept across the room, cold and authoritative. He locked eyes with the detective, who was trembling so badly that he could barely hold himself up. Just then, the detective’s phone rang, startling him. With shaky hands, he fumbled to a
upon hearing what the detective just said Jade’s family stood in stunned silence, their faces pale and drawn. They couldn’t believe what was happening. The jail term for fabricating and selling fake paintings had been set at fifty years. Jade’s father at that moment opened his mouth, his voice trembling with shock he knew because the mayor was involved that must be the reason he said so, he demanded an explanation.“Why is the sentence so high youI think I don't know the law” he said, his eyes still wide with disbelief. “This isn’t fair! You can’t do this to us! it's fair”But instead of an answer, all he got was the cold click of handcuffs snapping around his wrists. The federal police moved in swiftly, cuffing Jade’s mother, his father and jade as well. At that moment Panic set in, their faces filled with a mixture of fear and confusion they did even notice when the federal police came in. Jade’s mother whimpered, her hands shaking as she tried to process what was happening.
Summer’s eyes at the moment widened in surprise when she saw Jason walking out of the police station. She had been so worried because she knew they used to get him, she thought that he might be stuck in there for a long time about the painting and she was here to give her own little experience about the painting. But here he was, free and looked unharmed. At that moment relief washed over her, but she could tell by the look on Jason’s face that something was bothering him and she wondered what it was.At that moment Summer looked down at herself, suddenly feeling self-conscious. She was wearing tattered clothes, and her shoes were worn out. She hadn’t had time to change before rushing to the police station to see Jason, and now she felt embarrassed seeing him alright and she is dressed this way. But it was more than just her appearance—her whole demeanor was tired and defeated.Jason noticed the state summer was in and he couldn't believe she had gone through all of this just because
Hearing the noise the manager stormed out from the back room, her face flushed with irritation as she approached the scene of chaos she couldn't believe what she was seeing. Clothes were scattered across the floor and both security guards were on the floor, and we're still recovering from the scuffle with Jason.The salesgirls, stood in the position their faces twisted with a mixture of anger and smug satisfaction seeing the manager had just come in,They know she doesn't tolerate nonsense and this kind of situation would definitely trigger her to act without wasting any time in telling the manager what had happened.She stepped forward pointing her finger at Jason.“Manager, this man purposely messed up the floor with his girlfriend after we told him his girlfriend was dirtying it but he refused and decided to mess up the floor even more so I decided to go inform the security guards and he fought with them” She then gazes at the clothes on the floor.“ He did it, his actions lead t
The young master lingered near the door, a twisted smile tugging at his lips as he watched the gang approach Derek and Summer’s table. “Perfect,. I won’t have to lift a finger—they’ll take care of them for me.”He said to himself with a smiling face.The gang moved with precision, their presence drawing uneasy glances from the other patrons. They stopped at Derek and Summer’s table, their leader towering over them with an intimidating sneer.At that moment Summer opened her mouth, her voice steady but cautious. “Is there a problem—”Before she could finish, the leader grabbed Derek by the back of his head and slammed his face into the table with a sickening thud. Immediately Plates and glasses rattled as Derek groaned, disoriented by the sudden attack. Seeing what just happened Summer let out a gasp, her hand flying to her mouth, but she didn’t have time to react further. Immediately another gang member yanked her by the hair, dragging her roughly out of her seat.“Let her go!” De
The leader of the group smirked as his men surrounded Jason, their confidence palpable. “You think this is just about you?” he sneered, his voice laced with venom. “Because of what you did, your friends will pay the price too.”Hearing what he just said.Jason’s eyes narrowed, his calm expression shifting into something cold and deadly. immediately his fists clenched at his sides, and a flicker of anger darkened his gaze.He couldn't believe they dared to threaten my friends?The first man lunged, his fist aimed straight at Jason’s face, but Jason sidestepped smoothly, his movements fluid and precise. Before the attacker could recover, Jason’s elbow struck him square in the chest, sending him stumbling backward, gasping for air.Immediately Another came at him from the side, the knife gleaming in the dim light. Jason twisted out of the way, grabbing the man’s wrist and slamming it against the nearest wall. The blade clattered to the ground, and Jason’s knee came up, connecting wit
The tension in the scene was palpable, the young master’s grip tightening around Summer’s neck as her face contorted with discomfort. Jason’s calm voice broke through the chaos, low and steady but laced with warning. “Let her go.”At that moment The young master turned to Jason, his expression a mixture of arrogance and disdain. “And if I don’t?” he sneered. “What are you going to do about it?”However Jason didn’t respond immediately, his sharp gaze fixed on the man. Summer’s breaths grew shallow, her panic evident in her red eyes. The young master, clearly enjoying the moment, smirked as he applied more pressure. “See? You can’t—”Before he could finish his sentence, Jason was suddenly there, his hand gripping the young master’s wrist with a force that made him wince. The speed of Jason’s movement had left the young master—and everyone watching—stunned.They couldn't believe how he got their so fast.“What the—” the young master stammered, his face twisting in shock as Jason held h
Hearing the voice Jason stood still, his body relaxed but ready, as the man across from him snarled, his fists trembling with pent-up rage.“You’ll regret this,” the man spat, his voice dripping with venom.Immediately He took a step closer, his eyes wild with anger.At that moment Jason cocked his head slightly, his gaze steady and almost bored. “Regret?” he asked, his tone calm but cutting. “I don’t think you’ve thought this through before depriving everyone from entering as if you owns the place.”Hearing what Jason just said.The man scoffed, his lips curling into a sneer. “You talk big, but let’s see what you can actually do.” Without waiting for a response, he lunged forward, swinging a flurry of punches aimed at Jason’s face.However Jason moved effortlessly, stepping just out of reach each time. This guy’s swings are wild, no focus, all brute force. Typical Amateur. He dodged another strike, his eyes locked on the man’s every move.“Is that it?” Jason said, his voice laced wi
The burly man’s face twisted with irritation as Jason maintained his firm grip on his wrist. Immediately his eyes narrowed, a mixture of anger and disbelief flashing across his features. “I’m warning you,” he growled, his voice low and menacing. “Let me go before you regret it.”However Jason’s expression remained calm, his grip steady but not aggressive. “Not until you move aside,” he said evenly. “We’re here for a reason, and you don’t have the authority to block us.”Upon hearing what Jason just said The crowd around them murmured quietly, tension rippling through the air. The man shifted his stance, trying to pull his arm free, but Jason’s hold didn’t waver. The quiet strength in Jason’s demeanor only seemed to unsettle him further.At that moment Summer, sensing the brewing storm, quickly stepped forward, her tone light but firm. “Jason, it’s fine,” she said, placing a hand on his arm. “We don’t need to make this a bigger deal than it is.”At that moment Jason glanced at her,
At that moment Jason had just turned the key in the ignition, ready to leave, when a figure appeared out of nowhere, standing in his way. He hit the brakes instinctively and blinked, his calm demeanor briefly giving way to surprise.It was Summer.She stood there with her arms crossed, her expression unreadable as she looked at him through the windshield. At that moment Jason’s heart missed a beat. “What the hell is she doing here?”Rolling the window down, Jason leaned out slightly. “Summer?” he asked, his voice carrying a mix of shock and confusion. “What are you doing here?”Immediately Summer walked over, her steps measured, her face perfectly calm—as if she hadn’t just appeared out of nowhere. “What? Surprised to see me?” she said with a faint smirk.Hearing what summer just said .Jason narrowed his eyes slightly, trying to get a read on her. “Did you—” He hesitated. “Did you see all of that?”Summer tilted her head, feigning innocence. “See what?” she replied nonchalant
At that moment Camila stepped out of the car, her heels clicking on the pavement, her expression a mixture of surprise and curiosity. “Grandfather?” she called out, her tone sharp. “What are you doing here? Why did you come?” didn’t answer her immediately. Instead, he turned his attention to Jason, his sharp eyes studying him for a brief moment before extending a hand.Jason, unfazed by the unexpected formality, shook his hand firmly.“I’ve heard good things about you,” her grandfather said, his tone calm but laced with curiosity. He glanced at the car behind Jason, his eyes lingering on the sleek Mercedes G-Wagon. “Impressive vehicle.”Jason nodded politely, his expression neutral. “Thank you, sir.”At that moment Camila folded her arms, her frustration mounting. “Grandfather, why are you here?” she pressed, her voice carrying a slight edge. “You don’t just show up like this.”At that moment Her grandfather finally turned to her, his expression unreadable. “The school management
At that moment Jason’s calm words seemed to hang in the air, leaving the group momentarily stunned. “Bring the car around,” he had said, as though it was the most natural thing in the world. But to everyone else, it was absurd, they couldn't believe what they just heard.“Did he just… call for a car?” one of the boys whispered, his disbelief evident. “Jason? The guy who probably doesn’t even own a scooter?”Another laughed, the sound sharp and mocking. “What car is he talking about? Is he hoping a taxi will count as his ride now?”The murmurs quickly turned into open insults, their frustration boiling over. “Jason’s at it again,” someone said loudly, shaking their head. “Always trying to save face. What’s next? Claiming he owns the building too?”At that moment Robert, sensing an opportunity to fuel the fire, stepped forward with a smug grin. He looked directly at Jason, his voice loud and condescending enough for everyone to hear. “You know, Jason, you’ll never change, will yo
However Camila’s gaze stayed fixed on Natalie, her expression cold but controlled. “Apologies,” she said, her voice firm and deliberate, “are best done on knees. That is, if the person apologizing is reasonable enough.”Upon hearing what Camilla just Said.Natalie’s face burned with humiliation, but the weight of Camila’s words left her with no room for defiance. She glanced around, searching for even a shred of support from the boys, but all of them avoided her gaze. Slowly, reluctantly, she dropped to her knees, her head bowed low.“I’m sorry,” Natalie said, her voice trembling, though she tried to sound composed. “I shouldn’t have said all those words. Please forgive me.”The boys exchanged awkward glances, clearly uncomfortable but unwilling to challenge Camila. One of them finally cleared his throat, trying to ease the tension. “Alright, she has apologized. Let’s just cover her bill and move on.”Another nodded quickly, eager to move past the awkwardness. “Yeah, we can handle
